Do they want a piece? Well, they can go fuck themselves because neither they nor their bestie Russia will get any.

Let's hope so. With every passing day this situation is more likely to become a mixture of East Germany and North Korea. Whether the West recognizes eastern Ukraine as Russian or not will be irrelevant. The only "upside" is that Putin's Russia doesn't look like it will be able to sustain itself for as long as the Soviet Union could after WW2.

How so? Russia is in an up and coming economic bloc. BRICS is only going to grow unlike the G7.

Nobody is doubting the growth potential of "BICS" (if you will), countries which aren't currently spending heaps on destruction. China is making one hell of a bargain at Russia's expense too.

But I do envy the person that is able to see potential in a country that needs to contract North Korean soldiers for its war efforts.
